As a young girl, c. 1922, Edna worked as a waitress at the Jordan Pond House. Her family said she told many stories about climbing the mountains with the owner, Thomas Andrew “T.A.” McIntire (1869-), looking for mushrooms and berries, making home made ice cream and serving the Rockefellers when their nurses brought them in to learn table manners.
